You are solely responsible for taking all appropriate safety precautions in connection with the use of the website and app and contacting other users. You accept that there are risks interacting online or offline with other users, including dating and meeting other users. We do not guarantee or verify the accuracy of information provided to you by other users. Arike makes every effort to keep the information made available on the website and app accurate and up to date, but we do not guarantee that the information is accurate, complete or current. No rights can be derived from it. Any reliance on the provided information is at your own risk. We do not warrant that the website or app will be available uninterrupted and in a fully operating condition. All content and services on the website or app are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Any decisions or actions taken by you on the basis of the information provided on or via the website and app are at your sole discretion and risk. Arike shall not collect data from minors. Should a Member lie about his/her date of birth, and particularly if he/she fraudulently claims to be over 18 years of age, the parents of the minor in question should inform Arike of this by sending an e-mail to [email protected], requesting the data to be deleted. Arike commits to deleting all data on the minor in question as soon as possible.
Since Arike does not sell physical goods there is no cancellation or return. Arike users can make a payment to purchase digital goods which can be used for soliciting a connection with other Arike users. Digitals goods include Notes and Premium subscription subscriptions. New digital goods may be introduced and older digital goods may be modified or removed from time to time. Digital goods obtained through referrals, will expire within 12 months.
When you make an in-app purchase, you will be prompted to enter details for your account with your Software Store ("your IAP Account"), and your IAP Account will be charged for the in app purchase in accordance with the terms disclosed to you at the time of purchase as well as the general terms for in-app purchases that apply to your IAP Account. Some Software Stores may charge you sales tax, depending on where you live. If you purchase an auto-recurring periodic subscription through an in-app purchase, your IAP Account will continue to be billed for the subscription until you cancel. After your initial subscription commitment period, and again after any subsequent subscription period, your subscription will automatically continue for an additional equivalent period, at the price you agreed to when subscribing. If you do not wish your subscription to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your subscription, you will need to log in to your IAP account and follow instructions to cancel your subscription, even if you have otherwise deleted your account with us or if you have deleted the Arike application from your device. Deleting your account on Arike or deleting the Arike application from your device does not cancel your subscription; Arike will retain all funds charged to your IAP Account until you cancel your subscription through your IAP Account.
In general, payments once made, are not refunded under any circumstances. In other words, you do not have the option of cancelling or getting a refund for any payment. It follows that you will not be getting a refund for any payment when your membership is terminated. We may make an exception if a refund is requested within 14 days of the transaction date if the payment was made in a currency other than INR, the paid goods remain unused, and if the laws applicable in your jurisdiction provide for refunds. Such refunds will be issued within 7 business days.
